What is Ideal Weight Calculator?
Ideal body weight formulas give a rough target weight for a given height. They were first made to help doctors work out medicine doses.
What this tool does
Uses the Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi formulas, which all start from a base weight at 5 feet of height and add a set amount for each extra inch. Results are shown in kilograms and pounds.
How to use it

Did you know?
- The four formulas give slightly different answers because they were designed in different decades for different purposes.
- These numbers do not know your build or muscle, so treat them as a rough guide and not as medical advice.
